Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 77 /100

The Snow Girl garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, who described it as a dark, unpredictable, and bingeable Spanish crime thriller. Reviewers noted that the series successfully sustains tension across its mystery, mining suspense out of disturbing scenarios while keeping audiences on edge. Multiple critics cautioned that the subject matter of children in peril and related traumas makes for an undeniably dour and unsettling watch.

The show's narrative structure, which unfolds over an entire decade through clearly mapped time jumps, was generally praised for conveying the prolonged grief and suffering of the victims' family. While some critics observed that the plotting relies on familiar genre tropes and that certain traumatic backstories feel slightly contrived or heavy-handed, the grounded characterization of journalist Miren and strong performances across the cast helped elevate the material.

“Compelling Spanish series delivers a taut mystery”

“An Unsettling and Unpredictable Spanish Crime Series”
